2012 Review: Made 15 starts for the Padres after signing with the club as a minor league free agent on May 31. Marquis, who had been released by the Twins, was 6-7 with a 4.04 ERA with the Padres before his season was ended on Aug. 21 by a line drive back to the mound that broke a bone at the base of his left thumb. The Padres were 8-7 in his starts. The Padres re-signed Marquis as a free agent last December.

2013 Forecast: Marquis has been working to improve his changeup, giving the fastball-slider pitcher another weapon. He is No. 3 in the rotation coming out of spring training.

2013 Salary: $3 million.

Did you know? Each of Marquis’ past two seasons have ended with a fracture suffered on a line drive back to the mound.
